RPi with 512mb Memory?

wallarug over 13 years ago

I just found this: http://au.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-modb-512m/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b-512mb/dp/2191863

Is this a raspberry pi with 512Mb RAM or is this a joke.

I did, and your post here at Element14 was on the first page

Very amusing google, but we should try to be nice and provide directly useful replies such as a link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_operandi.

I first saw M.O. in a Batman comic book, where it was expanded into "method of operation".

Thanks for the reply on MO. Now I know what it is.

The shipping date is in 4 days!!!! How reliable is this website? and how come it says from time of order to date shipped is 3 days?

Lets put the call out to see if anyone has a Raspberry Pi with 512Mb RAM
.This was above.

Last time I checked it was still on their site.
When you try to order one it doesn't work with an erratic message that there isn't a price available.
But indeed, I can see Liz being amused by the discovery of people having a 512MB Pi which aren't supposed to be in the wild...
Not sure why they keep it on their site. Maybe they use it as a tracking to figure out how much interest there is.

Can you link me to the page where someone has said they have one?

And Maybe they could just be too lazy to take it down / off thier website know that they will eventually have to put it up again in maybe a month, 3 months, etc.

Is there any news on this topic from the other forum? or just news in general?

We still don't know what the rev 2 model code 5 & 6 are for. Does anyone know yet?

I ordered a Pi a week ago and I received it today, I got a paper stating 'RASPBERRY PI WITH 512 MB RAM, Thank You For Your Order, We have a little surprise for you, Inside the box is a new Rasberry Pi with 512MB RAM waiting for you!. Faster... Double RAM... Same Price...'

Yes I did not pay extra also, I will be uploading images soon, as I'm in the office right now!

I dont know if this is a joke or not, maybe you guys will be able to help
